Pros
It is able to access a server for stored files.
Cons
-Search function does not work. It only searches the folder you are in. What's the point when servers are made to store files in possibly thousands of folders? You will never be able to easily search for any file. Hopefully, your files are very well organized or else you will never find them.
-I have approximately 300GBs or more of files to transfer and it is taking forever because Cyberduck freezes and crashes constantly. I sometimes have to move one file or one folder at a time because it will crash.
-You cannot select more than one file on the transfer list to remove so you have to waste time clicking each file and remove. Waste of time. When the list filled up, it prompted to remove all the listed transfers. Wonderful feature... except... surprise, it freezes. I have to continually manually remove the items on the list. Also, it lags when there are more than 3 items on the list, making the process even slower.
Summary
This program is probably good if you rarely use it or only have a few files to store. If you have 100s of GBs of files DO NOT USE THIS PROGRAM!

Pros
it is 100% free, it may asks for a donation when you quit
Cons
the interface is fairly intiutive, when ftp address is stored, then you can drag & drop file to & from any remote location like you do it on you external drive
Summary
i'm using it for the last 7 years & updates are published on a regular basis, many webpage creator apps accept cyberduck as ftp client

Pros
Works once you figure out how to use it.
Cons
Utterly opaque UI.
Summary
I've been a computer professional for 25 years, a lot of that providing level 1 through 3 end user support, and the Cyberduck UI makes no sense to me. Find something else, this one will make your life miserable.

Finally someone who agrees with me!! And it's an expert! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Since this is considered the best FTP client for Mac and all Mac users - both expert and profanes - I know recommend this, I was starting to think to be a little dumb...yet the UI gave me headache over headache every time I tried to use it.
I'm gonna stick with FileZilla, for now, until I can afford a paid one like Transmit or ForkLift.
Pros
Fairly intuitive interface. Drag and drop. Did the job. And it was FREE!
Cons
Didn't seem to like to upload too many files at once. Sometimes didn't seem to want to Overwrite.
Summary
First, I downloaded FileZilla but it couldn't make a connection to my main file locker. So I got CyberDuck and it had no problem with the same address. Sometimes it would overwrite a file like I wanted it to, but sometimes it gave me an error and I had to delete the old version first. Other times, if I tried to upload too many files at once, I'd get an error, but that could be because of my own wireless network at home. When I use Comcast's own web-based uploading, I have to do one file at a time and then choose each one individually and make it "public." An enormous pain. CyberDuck uploaded them as public, saving me alot of time, and I could drag and drop. Love it!

Pros
Connects to all kinds of servers, including Rackspace Cloud and Amazon S3. Fast, intuitive, and free. I love the "edit" function, which lets me open and edit remote files locally, and Cyberduck will automatically re-upload the edited file. Everyone I work with now simply refers to it as "The Duck"...
Cons
Cons? It's awesome and free.
